[Clinical diagnosis of basal cell epitheliomas of the face (author's transl)]. 1980

J Civatte

Basal cell epitheliomas occur most frequently on the face and have very variable appearances: cicatricial and flat, ulcerous, even deep, and nodular, sclerodermiform, or pigmented. A very positive diagnostic finding is small epitheliomatous pearls often grouped together at the periphery of the lesion. Though the effects of these lesions are purely local, as metastases never occur, they frequently have a tendency to relapse.

D009364	Neoplasm Recurrence, Local	The local recurrence of a neoplasm following treatment.

D002280	Carcinoma, Basal Cell	A malignant skin neoplasm that seldom metastasizes but has potentialities for local invasion and destruction. Clinically it is divided into types: nodular, cicatricial, morphaic, and erythematoid (pagetoid). They develop on hair-bearing skin, most commonly on sun-exposed areas. Approximately 85% are found on the head and neck area and the remaining 15% on the trunk and limbs.
